Looking for whirlpool GD5RHAXNQ00 compressor grommets

I'm looking for the correct compressor mounting grommets for Whirlpool GD5RHAXNQ00 at a reasonable price, or at least some grommets that would be comparable. I don't need the bolts, just the grommets. The current grommets are worn out and give way too much play leading to the compressor knocking.

On a side note, the thread hole for the front-right mount will no longer secure the bolt (I tried one of the other bolts and same thing, so it's the hole). I've never used a tap and dye kit to rethread a hole and I only have 9 inches of vertical clearance there to get in and work. Does anyone have an suggestions on a kit that I might be able to use in this situation?

Thanks for your help!

Hi @jacob44368

There are upper and lower grommets used with each of the compressor mounting bolts. They are Whirlpool part # 876811

Search online for the part number only to find suppliers that suit you best.

Instead of trying to re-tap the hole, perhaps try using two nuts to secure a longer suitable bolt

Here's an article that explains it better than I can.

@jacob44368 use a small ratchet to drive the Tap. As long as you start it straight, it will advance properly. Only issue that I foresee is that the thread is stripped and you may not have enough "meat" left to restore your thread. Of course, you could try and repair this further with some Helicoil inserts or similar but you would need to remove the compressor to get more room. Simplest fix would be to drill through, use a longer bolt and secure the compressor by placing a lock nut on the bolt.
